Embedded Software Test Engineer

Introduction

The Embedded Software Test Engineer is a hands-on, highly technical role responsible for creating, executing, and automating software-level unit and integration verification suites for safety-critical embedded systems. Working on advanced precision electromechanical medical systems powered by ARM architecture microcontrollers, this engineer will focus strictly on verifying source code quality, module logic, and requirements coverage running via PC stubs. This role requires an engineer who writes robust automated test code and stubs—not a QA device/hardware tester.

Responsibilities

• Create, execute, and automate software-level unit and integration verification suites for safety-critical embedded systems
• Focusing on verifying source code quality, module logic, and requirements coverage running via PC stubs
• Write robust automated test code and stubs
• Follow V-Model lifecycle, white-box testing, and line-by-line structural coverage principles
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to drive software quality in small, high-impact teams

Requirements

Required Skills

• 10+ years of hands-on experience in embedded software development and automated software testing
• Advanced proficiency in C, C++, and Python for test automation and scripting
• Strong working experience with VectorCAST, Google Test, or CppUnit
• Deep understanding of the V-Model lifecycle, white-box testing, and line-by-line structural coverage principles
• Familiarity with Git and Application Lifecycle Management tools (Jira, Azure DevOps)
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent
• On-site presence in St. Petersburg, FL (minimum 3 days/week hybrid or 100% on-site)

Preferred Skills

• Experience in regulated industries following strict SDLC standards (Automotive/ISO 26262, Aerospace/DO-178, or Medical Devices/IEC 62304)
• Hands-on experience with ARM-based 8, 16, or 32-bit microcontroller architectures
• Strong communication skills with a track record of driving software quality in small, high-impact teams
